    S&P and nasdaq are cousins

    There's two ways. 1) Go to http://www.market-topology.com and type in the ticker. This will give you the 5 most and least correlated stocks or tracking stocks to your stock. It won't do indexes. As an example click here to see the correlations for CIEN...

    http://www.freetradez.com - Free Commissions

    Damn whats with the attitude these days! lol I wouldn't touch a "free" broker with a 10ft. pole. The only reason I posted it here is because it seemed like there was some interest, and I just discovered the company this weekend from a magazine ad.

    For those interested this is another no-commission broker (actually they are a market maker). http://www.brokerageamerica.com/ From their site: "Whether you trade online or offline, all the broker does is pass your order to a market maker. The market maker actually trades the stock. Your...

    AB Watley Commission News

    I've only used IB for futures trading so I'm no expert, but I do know that their software is very stripped down so it depends what you need. There is no Level II, no charts etc...only an order execution window. Of course if you go with IB you can get all the extras through Qcharts or many...

    AB Watley Commission News

    Executions are comparable to Cyber. I think these days execution is pretty much the same amongst all top-tier Direct Access firms. SuperSOES is awsome when trading liquid stocks. Aranha, since Watley only charhes a maximum of .90c for a SuperSOES execution you could do millions of shares...

    I have used Watley's Ultimate Trader II for three days now. So far I'm very impressed overall with the system. Here's my first impressions: Pro's: -Stable servers. I have been running Cyber along-side UT II and haven't had any data loss problems with UT II, while I lost Cybers data a few...

    Is this program buying?

    Many times you can get clues to what's going on in those moves by listening to a S&P futures pit feed. The moves often start there. Usually if a large buyer appears in the crowd the announcer will tell you who it is and what they are doing. You can get free trials to these services at...

    TRADING WITH THE BLOOMBERG TERMINAL!!!!!!!!

    That sounds like a great deal for your volume! I think a Bloomberg terminal should also provide you the INCA book. Be sure to ask for it.

    Trading journal format

    The site I referred to above just opened for business. They have "Trade Diary" that seems to automatically analyze the trade data after input. I haven't tried it so I can't speak for it's usefulness. The theme of the site is to become a better "Investor" but the site is all about trading...

    Instinet acquires ProTrader

    Because of the acquisition ProTrader is now the only place to offer the INCA book. Doesn't seem fair ;-)

    Point taken. After a brief stint of futures trading with IB I decided their software wasn't for me. Personal preference I guess.

    AB Watley Commission News

    Jim, The only traders this will benefit are high volume traders. I'm doing about 1400 trades per month, or about 1.5M shares. At that rate a per share broker like IB ends up costing about the same as everyone else. I currently pay about $15-20k/mo in commissions at Cyber. At AB Watley I...

    AB Watley Commission News

    That guy on the Yahoo board was full of **it. I spoke with Gotham for TNT's "Elite" traders department this afternoon. Although he says he would aggressively try to bring down my commissions to something near AB's schedule they won't just "match" AB (the TNT people weren't even familiar with...

    Cybertrader

    If you're new to daytrading the slight differences between Cyber and other platforms will not affect your trading. A year down the road you will have the experience necessary to decide if it is right for you. I've been with Cyber for some time now and my only complaint is occasional data...

    Trading journal format

    There is a site that will launch soon. I believe they will have a trading journal. I'll post here when they open because it sounds like it will be a cool site.
